Note

Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning tape, as it may damage the video heads.

Check the Video Heads after 1,000 Hours of Use

A video TV is a high precision machine. It must record on or play from magnetic tapes on which the image signals from the colour TV or the video camcorder are recorded.

The video heads or mechanical parts for transporting the tape are contaminated or worn after extended use. You should have your video TV checked after each 1,000 hours of use.
